Crimson locked on the sight of the sapphire silhouette and the blond-ginger could only sigh in response. He'd never had a good relationship with his brother, before the incident or after - it didn't really make much of a difference. 

He still harped on him. He still scolded him. He still fought with him. Over all Chris just seemed to become even more of a stickler for the rules, and Thomas didn't much care for it. 

Life had returned to 'normal' as normal could be considering the things that occurred. Micheal was undergoing talks with father and Chris to enroll in the local school, and well...Thomas was fighting them every step of the way. 

He didn't care if he was still of age to 'finish his education', he wasn't about to enroll in a place where he would be forced to see Ryoga on a daily basis. 

Such a thing couldn't end on a good note. 

For as much as he protested, the bookworm his brother was wouldn't let up on the subject who claimed it would be a 'good experience to improve his people skills.' 

And ever since the family learned of his condition they advocated social interaction even more. There was just no arguing with him someone who wouldn't listen. 

By now, five years in the future, almost all Kaito's memories had been washed away and eroded, leaving the harsh, rusted steel of painful events which stood. This was despite everything around them having vanished.

An understanding of what prompted V's departure from Heartland Institute wasn't adequate closure. The vicious, tongue-biting, hand-scrunching duel between the two was almost. They were "true brothers," V claimed, but what did this mean?

Kaito's routine travelator journey was coming to a close as he proceeded one-way to the exit of Heartland Tower. The meeting was useless, as usual, and Kaito only attended because he was invited. Orbital 7 had been assigned to find more data on Numbers.

Exiting the gate, Kaito wasn't looking for anything. The sun was bright enough to slowly shed the eeriness of the symbol of Heartland off him.
